Five Daily Prayers in Jeddah
There are five daily prayers. Fajr comes before sunrise, and its time ends at sunrise. Dhuhr is the midday prayer. Asr is the afternoon prayer. Maghrib is at sunset, by the sea in Jeddah. Isha is the night prayer, and in Jeddah it comes about one and a half hours after Maghrib.
The Asr time in the table is the standard time used in Jeddah mosques. If you follow the Hanafi school, your Asr time is later. In the Hanafi way, Asr starts when the shadow of an object is twice as long as the object itself. Check your mosque or your app’s Hanafi setting for that time, because this page does not print a Hanafi clock-time for today.
Friday Prayer in Jeddah
On Fridays, there is no normal Dhuhr prayer. Instead, there is Jummah, the Friday group prayer. First there is a short talk, called a khutbah. Then the prayer follows right after it. The whole Friday prayer usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Friday prayer follows the Dhuhr time for that day, so on a Friday, check that day’s table or widget for the Dhuhr time. Go early. Big mosques in Jeddah fill up fast on Fridays. Not every small mosque holds a Friday prayer, so check with the mosque first if you are new to an area.
Mosques in Jeddah
Al-Rahma Mosque is also called the Floating Mosque. It was built in 1985 on the northern Corniche. It stands on pillars over the Red Sea, so at high tide it looks like it is floating. It covers about 2,400 square metres. It has one main dome, 52 smaller domes, and 56 windows. It is a working mosque first. Dress modestly, and visit outside prayer times if you only want to see the building.
King Saud Mosque is in the Al-Sharafeyyah district. It is the largest mosque in Jeddah. It was completed in 1987. It was designed by the architect Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil. The site covers 9,700 square metres. The prayer hall alone covers 2,464 square metres. The main dome is 20 metres wide and 42 metres high. The minaret is 60 metres tall.
Why Your App May Show a Different Time
If your app shows a different time from the table above, check three things, in this order. First, check the city. Is your app set to Jeddah, the city you are actually in? Second, check the method. Is your app set to Umm al-Qura? Jeddah mosques use Umm al-Qura. Under this method, Fajr is set when the sun is 18.5 degrees below the horizon, and Isha is set 90 minutes after Maghrib. In Ramadan, Isha is set 120 minutes after Maghrib. Third, check Asr. In the standard way, Asr starts when the shadow of an object is as long as the object itself. In the Hanafi way, it starts when the shadow is twice as long. That is why Hanafi Asr is later.
If all three checks are right and the time still looks a little different, trust your local mosque. Small differences of a minute or two between trusted sites are usually rounding, not a mistake.
Visiting Jeddah
Jeddah is the city where many travellers arrive before they go further. Makkah is about 65 kilometres to the east of Jeddah. Use Jeddah times while you are in Jeddah. When you travel on, switch to the times for the city you arrive in, because each city has its own sunrise and sunset. If you are planning a trip across the country, the Saudi Arabia prayer guide explains how times change from city to city.
The Corniche is a good place to be near sunset, but plan around Maghrib. Streets near the sea get busy before sunset prayer, and the walk back takes longer after prayer. Give yourself extra time on Fridays and on public holidays.
Eid Prayer in Jeddah
Eid prayer in Jeddah is in the morning, after sunrise. It is prayed in a group. The exact time for each Eid is announced by local mosques close to the day. This page does not print an Eid time, because no verified Jeddah Eid time can be fixed in advance. Check your local mosque’s announcement before Eid, and arrive early.
Questions About Prayer Time in Jeddah
What is prayer time Jeddah today?
Check the table at the top of this page for today, and the live widget below it for tomorrow. Times change a little each day, so do not use one day’s table for another day.
What time is Friday prayer in Jeddah?
Friday prayer replaces Dhuhr on Fridays. There is a short talk first, then the prayer. The whole prayer usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Check that Friday’s table or widget for the Dhuhr time, and go early, because big mosques fill up fast.
Why does my app show a different time from Jeddah mosques?
Check three things: your city, your method, and your Asr setting. Your city must be Jeddah. Your method must be Umm al-Qura. If you follow the Hanafi school, your Asr setting must be Hanafi. If all three are right, trust your local mosque.
Are Jeddah prayer times the same as Riyadh prayer times?
No. Each city has its own sunrise and sunset, so each city has its own times. Use Jeddah times while you are in Jeddah. For Riyadh, see the Riyadh prayer times page.
What time is Eid prayer in Jeddah?
Eid prayer is in the morning, after sunrise, in a group. The exact time for each Eid is announced by local mosques close to the day. This page does not print a fixed Eid time. Check the local announcement before Eid and arrive very early.
